MARINE CORPS AIR STATION IWAKUNI, Japan - Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) Marines an explosive charge detonates on Target Island, off the coast of Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, during a training exercise, on Aug. 24, 2021. EOD trains regularly to ensure personnel understand how to handle explosive threats to military assets in a timely manner and to ensure base operations continue uninterrupted. Target Island is an ideal location to conduct this training and, due to its isolation, it reduces the impact of noise on the local community. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Darien Wright)
